Book description: U. of Illinois Press, 2006. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Ledgin, a music journalist and photographer, presents an introduction to the history and basics of bluegrass music. Once a newcomer to the music herself, she uses that memory to put together a book that aims to be accessible. She discusses influences on the music, its evolution and key players, instrumentation, types of songs, use in popular culture and other countries, and concerts and festivals. Included is an annotated list of 25 recordings readers can use to start a collection, along with a few videos. (©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
